EWEB

When can I expect a bill?

We have multiple billing cycles. New members who transitioned in from EWEB will be billed from the 26th through the 26th of each month.

When will I get my member number?

Member numbers will be emailed and mailed out in the first week of May. At that time, you can set up your online SmartHub account.

Details will also be provided for online account set up.

Will my auto pay transfer?

If you have your EWEB account set up to pay from a checking account, that information will transfer.

If you pay with a debit or credit card, you will need to set that up with Lane Electric on or after May 1.

Will the lower McKenzie have board representation?

Yes! Lower McKenzie members will fall into two districts. Those east of Ross Lane will be part of the McKenzie District.

Those who reside west of Ross Lane will be part of the Central District.

As a member-owner, you will vote for all seven elected board members - even those outside of your district.

You can find a map of Lane Electric's service territory and details on the Board of Directors here.

How will Lane Electric handle solar accounts?

For Net Metering Agreements signed on or after May 1, 2026, the Cooperative will credit the Member for the excess kilowatt-hours generated during the billing period in subsequent, serial billing periods. The Member will be compensated at avoided cost for any excess generation in the billing period immediately following the generation of excess energy.

Such compensation will take the form of a bill credit.

Will I be able to read my meter?

You will have the same meter until Lane Electric can begin upgrading the lower McKenzie area meters in May. Your new meter will look pretty much the same as the old one.
